Ford is in the technology business.
Yes, it makes cars but that is now only part of its operations.
The company's chief executive has revealed that it's working on the assumption that its major rivals in the future may not be General Motors or Chrysler.

Behind every invention there’s serious work, often a lifetime of time and money invested before a great idea can be realized but the moment it is realized the future and the every-day life of humanity is changed. After research and development new technical solutions improve industry and production – giving competitive advantages to some people over others. Or a technical innovation decides the outcome of battles and helps to end conflicts. The B-29 American bomber and deep-sea oilrigs under the Gulf of Mexico are seemingly unrelated. But they aren’t. They both changed history.
